What if my child feels different?

Being Different

One of the hardest things for a child with arthritis to accept, is that they are different. Children and young teens want to fit in and they hate anything that makes them different. My advice is to try to explain to them that everyone is different. Also tell them that what makes them different is what makes them special.
